Deal Operations & Legal Working Student

About Unosecur

Founded by Santhosh Jayaprakash and headquartered in Berlin, Unosecur is a fast-growing, Pre-Series A startup with $5M in funding. We're a fast-growing B2B security SaaS platform making identity security smarter and simpler for enterprises worldwide. You’ll be part of a diverse team that thrives on creativity, collaboration, and cross-border problem-solving. With cybersecurity now mission-critical, you’ll be building not just a career, but a future in one of tech’s most dynamic and resilient sectors. Joining Unosecur means stepping onto a global stage.

About the role

At Unosecur, we move fast, we think big, and we're just getting started. Yet every enterprise deal meets with the same obstacles, MSA redlines, liability caps that need negotiating and vendor due diligence processes that can quietly kill momentum if nobody owns them. As our Deal Operations & Legal Working Student, you become our first line of defence. This is a practical, hands-on role where you will own contracts, legal research, and end-to-end deal management as we scale our team across Europe and the US. You'll work directly with our founding Operations team and Founder as your work will ensure faster sale cycles, cleaner contracts, and a business that scales without legal debt dragging it back.

Who you are

You are comfortable making legal decisions and giving legal advice. You have a taste for legal research and aren’t afraid to dig into the unknown until you find the answer, whether it’s hiring in a new market or staying ahead of shifting legal requirements and industry standards. A variety of legal topics in a startup environment is of interest to you. You have a hunger to make an impact and hit the ground running whilst thinking. You understand the commercial reality behind every contract. You're not here to slow deals down, but to make sure we move forward on the right terms.
